Bai Ye's first thought was that he had been ambushed!
But then he felt something was wrong. If they wanted to ambush him, wouldn't it be better to attack after he entered the church? He could dodge by simply jumping back after opening the door. However, once inside the church, there weren't many places to take cover, only some long benches, and their backs were hollow, offering no real protection.
While thinking, Bai Ye crouched and crawled back to the church entrance, looking inside.
Good heavens, they were already fighting.
Bai Ye observed the two sides engaged in combat, unable to discern if they were chosen ones, local gangsters, or villains trying to interfere.
However, Jin Sha and Alex were nowhere to be seen, and the Scyther that had been on the rooftop was also gone.
Bai Ye turned to Rattata and asked, "Do you know where Jin Sha is?"
Rattata twitched its nose, sniffing the air for tracking. It then shook its head and made a claw-waving motion.
Bai Ye pondered, "I don't smell Jin Sha, but… I do smell Scyther?"
Rattata nodded.
Bai Ye couldn't help but rub his chin, trying to figure out what was going on.
That Scyther must have been used by Jin Sha to track the target. With its ability to fly, aerial surveillance made it difficult to shake off.
Therefore, the presence of Scyther here indicated that Alex was definitely here, or had been here. He was likely taken somewhere else now.
What about Jin Sha? Had she not arrived yet? She was too slow!
As Bai Ye was thinking, the wail of police sirens suddenly pierced the air, interrupting his train of thought.
Bai Ye snapped back to reality, looked ahead, and saw over a dozen police cars speeding towards the scene. They quickly arrived not far from the church entrance.
Two officers alighted from their vehicles, their gazes meeting Bai Ye's…
Without any hesitation, the two police officers swiftly drew their weapons from their waists and opened fire on Bai Ye.
Clearly, the two officers had immediately identified Bai Ye as a bad guy.
As for why…
Bai Ye was slinging an AK-47!
What kind of good person carries that thing?
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye cursed and quickly ducked into the church.
Even though there was fighting inside the church, it was still better than being caught in the middle. Besides…
"I'm just passing by, I'm just passing by, I'm just passing by…"
Bai Ye chanted to himself, praying that the people fighting around him would focus on each other. All he wanted was to cross the church and leave.
But just then…
A gust of wind suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye. A man, holding a Kukri, swung it down at Bai Ye from above.
Bai Ye sighed, knowing this would happen. The fighting inside the church was a frenzy, where anyone not on your side was attacked.
However, from the perspective of the factions inside the church, anyone not on their side was an enemy…
So how should Bai Ye be classified?
He was in the unlucky faction, so both sides would attack him!
While thinking, Bai Ye grabbed the man's arm, twisted his waist sharply, and executed a shoulder throw, slamming the man forcefully to the ground.
With a crash!
A long bench to the side was smashed to pieces.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye smacked his lips, glancing at the man on the ground. He had been killed by a simple shoulder throw.
This seemed…
A bit weak?
Bai Ye felt that the opponent wasn't a chosen one. With such physical strength, he wasn't even as strong as Jin Sha. Jin Sha, as a beast tamer, wouldn't be so weak as to be killed by a single throw from Bai Ye. Therefore, the man before him was just at the level of a normal human.
"This isn't scientific!"
Bai Ye scratched his head. A group of ordinary people couldn't have taken Alex from Jin Sha, could they?
Just then…
Before Bai Ye could think further, the stained-glass windows around them suddenly shattered, and smoke grenades were thrown into the church. A thick cloud of smoke began to spread.
The police were attacking!
The surrounding fighting briefly ceased, then devolved into chaos, with people scrambling in all directions.
Bai Ye donned his Predator mask and strode forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing a man charging at him, Bai Ye grabbed him by the collar and tossed him aside, then continued forward, kicking another man away.
Vaulting over the bench backs, Bai Ye quickly crossed the church hall and entered a corridor through a side door.
The smell of blood!
Bai Ye looked at the corridor in surprise. A battle had occurred here as well, with many casualties. Blood was everywhere on the ground, and there were about ten corpses piled up.
Bai Ye stepped over the bodies and walked forward. Suddenly, he noticed something and crouched down.
The wrist of a corpse had been forcibly crushed. The body bore multiple wounds, but they didn't look like they were inflicted by a sharp blade. The edges of the wounds were wide and very rough, more like wounds torn open by bare hands.
This must have been done by a chosen one, right?
The gangsters in the city would at most shoot a few times with firearms. They wouldn't have this kind of ability.
Of course, it was also possible that some lone villains in the city had also intervened.
As Bai Ye was thinking, a sound suddenly came from behind him.
Bai Ye flicked his head to the side and quickly leaped away.
With a clang!
A large door, apparently ripped from somewhere, slammed heavily onto the ground.
A man wearing camouflage pants and a bare chest stood there. His muscles were well-defined, not bulky, but very symmetrical.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.
Large, bulky muscles might look imposing, but they weren't ideal for combat due to their lack of flexibility. Excessive muscle could also distort movements. The physique of the man before him, however, was the perfect build for actual combat.
While thinking, Bai Ye stood up and retreated, saying, "Scan!"
Biological scan initiated…
Biological scan completed…
Lake Roderiguez (Chosen One) (Injured): Chosen One from the modern civilized world.
Strength: 71
Speed: ??
Stamina: ??
Spirit: 55
Intellect: 19
Weakness Search: Rib injury on the right rear side of the body, left thigh injury on the side, left shoulder deltoid injury.

Bai Ye glanced at the data displayed on his mask. He was indeed a chosen one.
Meanwhile…
Lake, having missed his attack, immediately pressed his advantage. He lunged forward, closing the distance to Bai Ye in a single step, and threw a straight punch aimed at Bai Ye's face.
But at the moment of impact…
Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm!
Bang!
A dull thud of flesh colliding!
Facing Lake's punch, Bai Ye took it head-on.
Lake exerted his strength, trying to blast Bai Ye away with sheer power. However, half a second later, surprise flickered across Lake's face.
He…
Could not budge him!
